/* BTF (BPF Type Format) is the meta data format which describes
 * the data types of BPF program/map.  Hence, it basically focus
 * on the C programming language which the modern BPF is primary
 * using.
 *
 * ELF Section:
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~
 * The BTF data is stored under the ".BTF" ELF section
 *
 * struct btf_type:
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Each 'struct btf_type' object describes a C data type.
 * Depending on the type it is describing, a 'struct btf_type'
 * object may be followed by more data.  F.e.
 * To describe an array, 'struct btf_type' is followed by
 * 'struct btf_array'.
 *
 * 'struct btf_type' and any extra data following it are
 * 4 bytes aligned.
 *
 * Type section:
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * The BTF type section contains a list of 'struct btf_type' objects.
 * Each one describes a C type.  Recall from the above section
 * that a 'struct btf_type' object could be immediately followed by extra
 * data in order to desribe some particular C types.
 *
 * type_id:
 * ~~~~~~~
 * Each btf_type object is identified by a type_id.  The type_id
 * is implicitly implied by the location of the btf_type object in
 * the BTF type section.  The first one has type_id 1.  The second
 * one has type_id 2...etc.  Hence, an earlier btf_type has
 * a smaller type_id.
 *
 * A btf_type object may refer to another btf_type object by using
 * type_id (i.e. the "type" in the "struct btf_type").
 *
 * NOTE that we cannot assume any reference-order.
 * A btf_type object can refer to an earlier btf_type object
 * but it can also refer to a later btf_type object.
 *
 * For example, to describe "const void *".  A btf_type
 * object describing "const" may refer to another btf_type
